From what I read LG needs some notice before it can ramp up production. So LG production should increase but I have been hearing rumors of nexus 4 coming to Indonesia and India from Jan so should increase demand as both those countries have large populations and no 4g networks so this is the best phone for them.

Price. £240 for an unlocked top-quality phone is a game-changing offer.
Next after that is probably a 'clean' version of Android, without all the cruft added by other manufacturers and by networks.
There are certainly other attractions, but price will be the primary one.

You could say so. Most manufacturers put updates on the back burner, they're more concerned with churning out new devices. And they are making themselves no favours by heavily skinning Android, it is more complex to sync upstream when you've made changes to the framework.

Samsung Galaxy Note too expensive!
At least at UK prices, the Note is more than twice the price of the Nexus 4.
(Yes, it is a much more capable machine, but they aren't in the same price range for comparison.)
